    • Personal Journals

In this episode of She's Got Issues, host Jill Smokler sits down in a candid conversation with Rebecca Woolf, author of the book All of This: A Memoir of Death and Desire. Rebecca opens up about her personal journey, from the collapse of her marriage to her husband's sudden stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis. She shares her conflicting emotions and the unique experience of transitioning from the idea of being a divorcee to becoming a widow. Rebecca's story of grief and moving on from a tragic ending offers solace and support to other women facing similar situations.
Rebecca Woolf is a writer and essayist who most recently authored the book, All of This: A Memoir of Death and Desire. She lives in Los Angeles with her four children.
From Amazon: "After years of struggling in a tumultuous marriage, writer Rebecca Woolf was finally ready to leave her husband. Two weeks after telling him she wanted a divorce, he was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. Four months later, at the age of forty-four, he died. In All of This, Woolf chronicles the months before her husband’s death—and her rebirth after he was gone. With rigorous honesty and incredible awareness, she reflects on the end of her marriage: how her husband’s illness finally gave her the space to make peace with his humanity and her own."
